11-Year-Old Boy Charged in String of Armed Robberies in DC

An 11-year-old boy was arrested by D.C. Police and is facing charges in connection with at least three robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon offenses.

In one incident, the suspect allegedly tells the victim, "Give me your phone, or I'll shoot you," and, "Haha I got you," later, according to a police report released on Tuesday.

However, police say the 11-year-old suspect still ended up robbing the victim.

All three incidents connected to this one child appear to have occurred within Northwest D.C.’s Park View neighborhood.

After searching for weeks, a 15-year-old boy accused of trying to kill a middle schooler on a Prince George's County school bus is in custody.

On May 1, three teen boys pushed their way past a Prince George’s County school bus driver and aide in Oxon Hill and tried to shoot a middle school student in the head, but the gun misfired.

Video of the attack shows a teenager holding a gun to the victim’s head and chest while his two accomplices hold the victim down. All three teens then beat the victim and fled.

Two of the teenage suspects were taken into custody shortly after the attack but the accused gunman, later identified as "Baby K," managed to evade arrest for weeks.

[...] A 14-year-old girl who was not on the bus has also been arrested for allegedly planning the "hit squad" attack. The eighth grader is accused of texting the boys moments before the attack to let them know the victim was on the bus. Officials believe the attack stemmed from a dispute. The mother of the boy attacked said she has no idea why her son was targeted.
